this has to be the best of them all ok here it goes.

tentacool pokemon power: any time during your turn you may return tentacool
to your hand bla bla bla bla bla.

Alakazam pokemon power: as often as you like during your turn you may switch
one damage counter from one of you pokemon to another as long as it does not
knock out that pokemon.

do you see a connection?????  maybee i could transfer damage to alakazam and
then cowardice, no

i see!!!! transfer damage to tentacool then cowerdice.  pretty good, no
really good, no, this is the best combination in the world.  ok if you have 4
tentacool on the bench
(obviosly you can use poke balls or some other trainer to get them out) then
get the alakazam out(same idea, pokeballs, computer search) I don't care how
you get them out,(even if it means giving up 1-2 prizes) it will all pay you
back.   so you have 4 tentacool and 1 alakazam on the bench(you don't bench
all 4 untill you need them) i pokemon w/ 90 hp is good to have out but also
include some other  basics such as jynx and mewtwo..... So we got hmmmm
kangaskan or snorlax is good.   so lets say they get moltres out.dive bomb
works, what you do is you imediatly transfer 20 damage to each on your bench
and cowerdice, all that damage is gone.   you can't use cowerdice the turn
you lay tentacool down so it covers 80 damage.   it is litteraly unstobable
